RIP Travis, doctors say he could've survived 51mph, but 52 was just too much

[@FoolishBailey]

The human body can only withstand 51.5 MPH. Anything higher is deadly.

[@cjryan7591]

Hahaha

[@SethOpitz]

to be fair, when he was still a Met, a ball thrown half as hard would have put him on the IL for weeks

Finally, a video about the greatest catcher in MLB history. One of only 3 ever to have multiple 3 homer games, the other two? Hall of famers Johnny Bench and Gary Carter. Clearly the GOAT. I Look forward to his posthumous induction into the Hall of Fame. RIP

This is a fun video main channel. Cant wait to see what you do on your 2nd channel though.

[@DrabekNewburn]

Postscript: The position-swapping strategy was banned for infielders at the same time they got rid of the shift, but is still legal in the outfield.

[@brettvandekerckhove2299]

I don’t see why you couldn’t still do it

[@gordonwhitney6052]

​@@brettvandekerckhove2299 The anti-shift rules that were put in for 2023 require not only that two infielders be on each side of second base when a pitch is thrown, it requires that the two infielders that start a half-inning on a given side stay on that side for the entire half-inning. So, under the current rules, if d'Arnaud is at third and Cabrera at second at the start of an inning, they can't switch until the start of the next inning (and can only do it at the start) - and can only switch back at the start of a subsequent inning.

[@brettvandekerckhove2299]

@@gordonwhitney6052 did not realize you couldn’t still keep switching mid inning. Didn’t need the screenplay pal.

[@silentrift63]

I enjoyed the System of a Down reference in your ad read more than I should

[@tedsterrux]

This video just made me frustrated that teams aren't constantly moving their best defenders around the infield every AB to maximize their defensive chances. Thanks, Bailey, now I'm mad.

[@Lgz009]

3:19 SYSTEM OF A DOWN REFERENCE 🚨🚨🚨🚨

[@armadillolover99]

The Mets best defensive option from a pure only-looking-at-the-infield perspective would’ve been to have Juan Lagares play 2B or 3B, because Lagares was a SS through much of his minor league career (in fact in the minors he played 30 more games at SS than he did in CF). But I think Collins felt more comfortable with trying to hide d'Arnaud rather than sacrificing outfield defense by having by far his best defensive outfielder and at that time only true CF, play the infield instead.

[@darsox64]

Damon Buford did this for an inning while playing for the Red Sox in 1998.

[@kevinarthur8488]

The title should’ve been “rare footage of jacoby ellsbury playing for the Yankees”… would’ve been just as effective for views

[@nathanakers45]

Wait...BOTH infielders were scratched due to sore ribs? Weird...

[@HunterBNobles]

RIP Chase’s brother

[@talvisser6848]

When you showed the judge homer I realized I was at this game but I was 12 so I didn’t notice the Travis defensive stuff😂

My takeaway from this video is that the Mets could have played this game with 8 men in the field and it wouldnt have made a difference in the outcome. My second takeaway is that we are robbing Orlando Cabrera of his own video titled "the day Orlando Cabrera played two positions at the same time"
